Activity Monitor

[ray]

Is there anywhere to find out what the
codes mean that are reported?  I am getting
some Receive RF codes that I have no idea
what they mean (e.g. M A, C Resize, E
Power).

I also don't understand what the commands
mean for my modules (e.g. D3 Output status
acknowledge 1b 38).

It would be helpful if there was a "code
book" so we could do some meaningful
analysis or our system.

Ray: What version of AHP is this? The problem
with weird codes showing up should have been
fixed already.

I'm currently using Version 3.186.  I also
seem to be having a problem with my lights
not coming on unless I have my AHP up and
running on the computer.  Not sure if this
is related or not.

Sorry for the double entry.  I seem to have
fat-fingered the submit!

You apparently have an X10 LM14A 2-way module
at address D3.  The code you see is the
extended code status report from that module.
The "1b" indicates the lamp is at dim level
0 (Off) and the bulb is OK.

For help in translating extended codes,
download xtc798.doc from <http://www.x10.com/
support/support_manuals.htm> (near the bottom
of the page).  Go to the section for "TYPE =
3" in that document.

Whoops, my mistake - the "1b" doesn't mean
what I said - in fact it doesn't mean
anything!

There's a bug in AHP 3.186 and the extended
status report data value is being misreported
in the Activity Monitor as "1b" regardless of
the level of the lamp.  (The level appears
correctly in the icon.)

Demonstate this by setting various dim levels
for an actual LM14A module, clicking the Poll
button on the icon, and observing the data
value in the extended status ack (extended
code 38 hex) in the Activity Monitor - it's
always 1b.

Thanks for the feedback.  And you are right
about the the data  value in the extended
status ack (extended  code 38 hex) in the
Activity Monitor - it's  always 1b.
However, I think it's going to take me a
bit of time though to understand that
document.

But I do apprecitate the information.

Ray:
BTW, the data value for some extended codes,
e.g., code 0x31, is scaled by AHP from the
actual 0-62 to the 0-210 range of ordinary
lamp modules.  So when you set a LM14A to
full brightness and see in the Activity
Monitor:
"D3 Extended Code d2 31 (New LM14A)"
Then 0xd2 = 210 has to be scaled back to
the 0-62 range for agreement with the
commands in xtc798.doc.

Charles:
Thanks again.  I think you have now
exceeded my meager knowledge of the
programming responses.  I apparently asked
a bigger question than I thought.  However,
thanks for trying to help me understand.
